Calculate the energy required to excite an electron in hydrogen atom from the ground state to the next higher state, if the ionsation energy for the hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV .

The energy required to excite a hydrogen atom from n= 1 to n = 2 energy state 10.2 eV. What is the wavelength of the radiation emitted by the atom when it goes back to Its ground state ?

Calaculate the ionization enthalpy of the hydrogen atom is its ground state. Strategy: The ionization enthalpy (Delta_(f)H) is the minimum enegry required to take the electron from the ground state to the first unbound state so that the electron effectively escapes from the influence of the nucleus. This corresponds to exciting the electron from m = 1 enegry state to n = oo enegry state.

An electron is at ground state of the H atom. The minimum energy required to excite the H atom into the second excited state is

The ionisation energy of hydrogen atom is 1.312xx10^(6) J "mol"^(-1) . Calculate the energy required to excite an electron in a hydrogen atom from the ground state to the first excited state.

In an inelastic collision an electron excites a hydrogen atom from its ground state to a M-Shell state. A second electron collides instantaneously with the excited hydrogen atom in the m-Shell state and ionizes it. At leas how much energy the second electron transfors to the atom is the M-shell state?
